I might not be supposed to tell you what "The China Syndrome" actually means - but I'm going to anyway. It's when the water shield at a nuclear power plant reaches such a low level that all the nuclear hoo-ha becomes exposed and the whole lot of it plummets through the floor, supposedly right through the centre of the earth to China. In practice, of course, it wouldn't actually happen that way: instead, there'd just be a giant nuclear explosion, large enough to send a substantial proportion of the surrounding area ****-up. In other words, it would be the sort of error that saying "woops" just wouldn't cover.
